UNSPSC 85871659: Plain radiography of thoracic aorta

This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a imaging intervention or procedure to plain radiography of thoracic aorta. This intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code B300ZZZ

UNSPSC 85871659 Plain radiography of thoracic aorta is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve diagnostic imaging systems, ultrasound equipment procurement, and phlebotomy services — none of which align with plain radiography of the thoracic aorta as a clinical service line. San Mateo Medical Center is seeking proposals for an enterprise-grade PACS system to support radiology, cardiology, and dental imaging with EPIC integration; Collier County, Florida, is single-sourcing specialized ultrasound equipment from EchoNous, Inc.; and the Albuquerque Police Department is contracting for on-call phlebotomy technicians for blood draw services. These solicitations suggest the code may be misapplied or that state and local procurement offices are using broader imaging and laboratory-service taxonomy that does not align with the granular clinical-procedure scope the Commodity code nominally describes. The issuing bodies span a county health system (San Mateo), a county procurement office (Collier County), and a municipal police department (Albuquerque), indicating use across different public-sector service lines.

Recent activity appears in California, Florida, and New Mexico, with no clear geographic concentration. The San Mateo Medical Center RFP for Diagnostic Imaging PACS, posted July 9, 2026, with an August 7, 2026, due date, is the most substantial recent opportunity and requires EPIC-integrated PACS implementation, data migration from an existing system, and compliance with HIPAA, living-wage, and Section 504 requirements, with evaluation weighted 30 points for project approach, 25 points for firm qualifications, 20 points for team qualifications, and 25 points for price. The Collier County single-source notice for EchoNous KOSMOS ultrasound equipment, posted April 1, 2026, represents a narrower procurement pathway with no competitive bidding. The code shows limited relevant recent activity, and the mismatch between the Commodity code's nominal scope and the actual solicitations suggests this code may not be a reliable filter for state and local diagnostic and laboratory service opportunities.
